“…Moreover, Leishmania major was reported from a fox in North Sinai [ 151 ], and in red foxes from Israel [ 152 ]. Gray foxes were serologically diagnosed as infected by Leishmania mexicana and L. infantum in Mexico [ 153 ].…”

Wild canids, as well as other wild animal species, are largely exposed to bites by ticks and other hematophagous vectors where the features favoring their presence and spread are found in wooded and semi-wooded areas. Much of the information about arthropod-borne infections concerns domestic and companion animals, whereas data about these infections in wild canids are not exhaustive. The present study is a narrative review of the literature concerning vector-borne infections in wild canids, highlighting their role in the epidemiology of arthropod-borne bacteria and protozoa.

“…In carnivores, only one out of two Molina's hog-nosed skunks (Conepatus chinga rex) were infected with L. mexicana in Bolivia, and the parasite was isolated by inoculation in hamster and subsequently analysed by isoenzyme analysis and hybridisation [41]. Samples from seven grey foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) were analysed by ELISA, showing 100% prevalence in Mexico [69] (Supplementary Materials File S3). Both species should be considered as sentinel or even reservoirs, due to the parasite's isolation and high values of positivity.…”

A Systematic Review (1990–2021) of Wild Animals Infected with Zoonotic Leishmania

Leishmaniasis are neglected diseases caused by several species of Leishmania that affect humans and many domestic and wild animals with a worldwide distribution. The objectives of this review are to identify wild animals naturally infected with zoonotic Leishmania species as well as the organs infected, methods employed for detection and percentage of infection. A literature search starting from 1990 was performed following the PRISMA methodology and 161 reports were included. One hundred and eighty-nine species from ten orders (i.e., Carnivora, Chiroptera, Cingulata, Didelphimorphia, Diprotodontia, Lagomorpha, Eulipotyphla, Pilosa, Primates and Rodentia) were reported to be infected, and a few animals were classified only at the genus level. An exhaustive list of species; diagnostic techniques, including PCR targets; infected organs; number of animals explored and percentage of positives are presented. L. infantum infection was described in 98 wild species and L. (Viania) spp. in 52 wild animals, while L. mexicana, L. amazonensis, L. major and L. tropica were described in fewer than 32 animals each. During the last decade, intense research revealed new hosts within Chiroptera and Lagomorpha. Carnivores and rodents were the most relevant hosts for L. infantum and L. (Viannia) spp., with some species showing lesions, although in most of the studies clinical signs were not reported.

“…For example, T. cruzi was isolated in D. virginiana from Yucatan Peninsula, and was also detected by PCR in two procyonid hosts, P. lotor and N. narica , from Tabasco state (Ruiz-Piña and Cruz-Reyes, 2002; Martínez-Hernández et al ., 2014). Moreover, Trypanosoma antibodies were detected in Mexican howler monkeys, by ELISA and by IFAT, and in a grey fox population ( U. cinereoargenteus ), by ELISA, from southern and central Mexico, respectively (Rovirosa-Hernández et al ., 2013; Zamora-Ledesma et al ., 2016). With regards to Leishmania spp., L. mexicana was detected by PCR in 13 of 41 bat species ( Pteronotus personatus , Artibeus jamaicensis , A. lituratus , Dermanura phaeotis , Carollia sowelli , Choeroniscus godmani , Desmodus rotundus , Glossophaga commissarisi , G. soricina , Leptonycteris curasoae , Phyllostomus discolor , Sturnira lilium and S. ludovici ) from six states of Mexico, and antibodies were detected by ELISA also on the two previously mentioned howler monkey species and grey fox population (Rovirosa-Hernández et al ., 2013; Berzunza-Cruz et al ., 2015; Zamora-Ledesma et al ., 2016).…”

The continual rise of anthropogenic disturbance of ecosystems has been associated with an increasing incidence of emerging diseases. The largest amount of data on emerging diseases relates to bacterial and viral pathogens, but there is a lack of parasite data, especially from wildlife. Monitoring wildlife parasitic diseases should be considered a priority, especially in high biodiversity regions with strong anthropogenic impacts, like Mexico, where the wildlife/livestock/human interface is associated with increased risk of disease transmission. Mexico belongs to the top-ten megadiverse countries and is located between two biogeographic regions. This situation makes Mexico a favourable region for the spillover of animal pathogens to human beings, causing pandemics, such as the one recently caused by influenza virus A (H1N1). The current state of knowledge of Mexican wildlife parasites is scarce and focuses mainly in Neotropical fauna. Moreover, this knowledge is heterogeneous for different parasite groups, especially concerning their pathologic effects and epidemiology. The goals of this review are to compile information on Mexican wildlife parasites and to identify knowledge gaps in order to stimulate research on pending epidemiological, public health, ecological and pathological areas, and to encourage the creation of more specialized groups from the perspective of the One-Health concept.
